Veracity of the article’s numbers is obviously an issue but the thing that’s interesting is that this number isn’t about investment in AI infrastructure or models. It’s money spent on consuming and using the models. Which puts the infra spe

This is cool data but I’d love to see how this AI boom compares to the big data AI boom of 2015-2018 or so. There were a lot of places calling themselves AI for no reason. Lots of anxiety that no one but data scientists would have jobs in t

I’d honestly say it feels better at most of them. It seems way more human in most of these responses. If the goal is genuine artificial intelligence this response to #5 is way better than the others. It is significantly less useful than the

Yes there were plans. A modest portion of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021(Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill) and the Inflation Reduction Act involved grid modernization. Some direct grid investment, some around electric vehi

This reminds me of one time I mentioned to someone I had aphantasia and their response was “how do you spell!?” Seems wild to me that some people see words in their head to spell them but I guess at least one person does. I do wonder if tha

I’ve implemented APIs with routes like `/temp-get-order` in an attempt to force a return and even then we never returned to it. Like you’re saying it was eventually deemed insufficient for reasons outside of it being imperfect and that

On top of this a lot of the “learning to work with LLMs” is breaking down tasks into small pieces with clear instructions and acceptance criteria. That’s just part of working efficiently but maybe don’t want to be bothered to do it.

As someone who loves fixing weird bugs I kinda hope this becomes a thing. There’s nothing as satisfying as finding logic bugs.

Yea we’re in Silicon Valley’s Lex Luthor era. World Coin is just really next level though compared to most Google things. Sama has kinda always been going for the Lex Luthor vibe.

Yea maybe it’s naive but I’ve started learning towards preferring the devil I know. It also helps that Gemini is great.

Although I agree with him I will say this post was surprisingly vacuous. The key point though is a good one. Going from a baseline average of around 2% to 15% will impact trade more than going from 15% to 35% so the remaining threat that Tr

My PM said they’d written a bunch of tickets for a project yesterday morning that we hadn’t fully scoped yet. I was pleasantly surprised because I can’t complain if they are going to get ahead of things and start scaffolding tickets. Of cou

Totally worth the time to read. Some of it hits very differently in a post 9/11 post Covid world than it probably did when written. 9/11 was a reminder of the war fever; Covid of how desperately we want to forget. Of course both p

If this stuff takes off it’s going to be real annoying for those who eat vegan for allergy reasons. I appreciate the trend to call things plant based because it’s more accurate for those who aren’t ethical vegans. Psyched for the ethical ve

A succinct way to put this as career advice is: do the job with the tedium you love. Doing what you love is nice and all but most jobs aren’t just the top line work so finding a job where you love the tedious parts and might not even consid

Yea immediately after I posted this I thought "ah shit someone is going to say ingesting vs injecting is different". It's still interesting as a comparison I think and the source is a solid one so I left it up.

Yes that has been the case since at least Reagan. The deficits go up under republicans more than democrats. The fiscal conservatism is a marketing ploy. Paper from 2004 on the topic: https://shapiro.macmillan.yale.edu/sites

Generally I find that agile works because getting a really clear spec is so hard. You’re slowly iterating towards a clear spec. What is a finished piece of software if not a completed spec? 100% agree AI based dev is at odds with agile. You
